doverstutts 1,643 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 in the first 3 games, we had excellent ball movement ( except for the first 25 minutes of the miss college game) and i did not see that against Xavier....they reverted back to the hero-ball that we played last year with heron ....we cannot play that style without him, we just can't....doughty cannot take the day off like he did yesterday....based on what hooks said,he is a slasher/drive the basket type player and he had played well up to yesterday......was the moment too big for him?.....it better not have been because today is a much bigger moment than yesterday.....we have to have a big game out of him today and chuma didn't do a michael jordan imitation either.....i hate to say it, but wiley is just not agile enough to create his own shot....maybe its rust or the extra weight because i remember him being more nimble around the basket as a freshman( i think i do anyway).....i hope we were looking ahead because we can play much better than we did, i have seen it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We play at such a helter skelter pace to be a good offense in it we have to be fundamentally sound. Positives the guys forms are text book when they shoot, especially Brown. He doesn't take bad shots as far as shooting off balanced and stuff, I think that its so good it feels uncomfortable when he has to improvise. The floor was slippery but I feel like we make good decisions in transition. I'm not all that knowledgeable about the game. Maybe watching so much Villa Nova around here has tainted me. I've yet to get a grip on our offensive strategy. And not just because our game is fast. We look so undisciplined and on the ragged edge of control. Don't get the perimeter shots 4 seconds into a possession as a matter of course. It's hard for me to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did it at UT and he does it now. It's also why we won the SEC Championship last season. Learn to love it my man! It looks really bad when shots don't fall and it looks incredible when they are dropping. It's all about controlled chaos. We will never run a rigid system like Jay Wright. Yes, sometimes it's frustrating when we see a brick when it's one pass or less and a shot goes up but it's all part of our system. We ask our guys to play their butts off on D in exchange for freedom on O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make me feel like a such tightass. I was in school with Sir Charles and went to those games. 'Unstructured' would fairly describe that kind of play. But this O is madness!. MADNESS, I say!

cole256 17,039 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Villanova is pretty free flowing though, yes we run a open system but there is still stupid shots. A one pass possession is the worst one to have. Worse than a no pass because when they bring it up and shoot it's in a rhythm and the confidence is up. Only way it's good with one pass if the defense had some sort of mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JwgreDeux 1,279 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 There's also a tendency to just simply back up in order to get your shot off. Brown and Harper both did it some yesterday (I'm talking about Harper on the catch, not off the dribble). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doverstutts 1,643 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Xavier looked good early, but their legs look a bit heavy now....they blew a huge lead and it looks like it was due to fatigue AND it appears that they might be getting a bit of the stinky end of the referee stick today....they are getting the end that we got some of yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,127 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Free throws missed at end of 4th quarter put us in OT. I believe we missed 4 of 6 at the end of 4th quarter.

Cool story but that has nothing to do with you never post or just have discussions about sports, you just come in and throw shots. Like you tried to do just now, but I'm comfortable that my profession places some of the most rigorous tests just to even apply. I always laugh at the people that want to throw shots at my intelligence because they are mad that we didn't agree. Says quite a bit about you. Do you want a hug or something? What exactly are you mad about lol. Like really what could I say to you for you to still be at it. I had issues with PT. He said some of the most demeaning stuff you can say, I don't and wouldn't have any desire to chase him down in post years later. You're not even funny 😂.

I said we could actually use this and literally play the tape and say this is why staying focused and closing a half is important. We had like a 9 point swing the last few minutes of the half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
